Impact of operative position on rotational alignment after intramedullary nailing of trochanteric fractures: a comparative analysis of lateral decubitus versus supine position

Fixation of trochanteric fractures with an intramedullary nail in a non-physiological position can cause poor functional outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative patient position on rotational alignment in intramedullary nail fixation of trochanteric fractures.
